Chip Carving
Lap Desk Many chip carvers place their work on their laps
while they carve. Since I have trouble leaning over for extended
periods of time to see the small details, I made a lap desk
to raise the work toward me. I placed openings in the top to
catch the chips, and a ledge on each side to hold tools. My
construction plans are presented here.

Most versions of "Greensleeves"/"What
Child Is This?" arranged for banjo have an eighth-note bluegrass
feeling. I was looking for a more traditional-sounding, peaceful
version, but could not find one. What to do? Get out a pencil,
some staff paper, and make my own. Print off this arrangement of Greensleeves
and strum away. I hope that you like it!

Volt/Ohm meters are fairly common. But
what if you need to measure an inductor or capacitor? M Cubed
Electronix sells a quality Inductance-Capacitance-Resistance
tester kit. It is extremely accurate, and lots of fun to
put together.

Morse Code anyone? The Begali Sculpture
Morse Code Key is extremely
smooth, due to the use of magnets instead of springs. Woodn't
you know, another wood project conveniently appears.

Tired of Sudoku? C++
Programming is a great way to keep your mind active and
solve some calculations along the way.
